Daft Punk Firespray Idea

By ObiWonka, in X-Wing

Someone at our store championship last month had painted one of his Firesprays with gold-plating. Whether it was intended or not, I looked exactly like Guy from Daft Punk's helmet (right):

Since then, I've really been wanting to purchase two more Firesprays to paint gold and silver (and keep my third original). I would love to make a semi-competitive squad using the Guy and Thomas Firesprays and a Daft Punk theme for their upgrades.

There are two ways I can think of to go. First, "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Squad" with two Bounty Hunters each with four upgrades (harder, better, faster, stronger). Second, upgrades based on song names (i.e. Gunner for "One More Time") on either generic or named pilots.

Any suggestions? I appreciate it!

Proximety bombs = harder (to avoid) 3 points

Recon Specialist = better (better focused) 3 points

Faster = Engine upgrade 4 points

Stronger = Heavy laser cannon 7 points

Not sure if that's what you're going for, and yes some of these are a bit of a stretch, but

33+7+4+3+3=50, so that X2 could work.

Not sure how viable it is to take recon specialist and stuff that encourages action other than focus, but this is what I thought of.

Gunner = One more time?

Proton bomb = Get lucky?

This is the most lyrical build I've seen

Saboteur = Get Lucky in my opinion

Wait, you can apply more than one upgrade?

what about the "Up all night to get some" squad??

Or the harder stronger faster better squad

Recon Specialist = better (better focused) 3 points

Stronger = Heavy laser cannon 7 points

You know, I actually had that exact build written down at one point, with all the same reasoning. Unfortunately, the last bit about actions competing for attention is what made me want to look for alternatives.

Come on now, I said semi-competitive... ;)

I agree with the song/upgrade assessment, though.
